Regulation 27

Boundary discrepancies

If there are differences between the dimensions of boundaries on the ground and those on the survey documents beyond stipulated tolerances, the registered surveyor must take appropriate measures to determine whether the differences are due to encroachments, to movements of marks or to defects in the previous survey.

Subregulation 2

The Chief Surveyor may amend the co‑ordinates of land boundaries if he or she is satisfied that it is necessary to describe with more certainty the boundaries of the land.
